Asked a little while back about "coolest startups" using Rails, I think it''d have been better had I asked "coolest software."

I want to know the easiest way to deal with this scenario: I have articles. I have categories for the articles. On the form where you write an article, there needs to be a free-form field to entire the category. The create() method will build the

Hey everyone - I have a career-related question for you all. I currently work full time as a Sr. Sys Admin, and have been doing systems work for about 9 years. I have been doing web development work on and off during this time, and have written quite a few internal applications and scripts for several companies I worked for. I have never worked in the full time capacity of a software developer

This is simple (I am sure) but how do you get the id of the inserted element after the element has been save? I thought it was something like this: @product = Product.new(params[:product] if @product.save add_image(product.id, params["image"]) flash[:notice] = ''Product was successfully created.'' redirect_to :action => ''list_products'' end

I''m getting ready to deploy a production app based on Camping, but have one little thing I want to iron out. Is it possible to override the ServerError class? I need custom 500''s to come up, and not the normal "Camping Problem!" page. I am trying to override, just like I do the NotFound class, but can''t seem to get it to take. I just get a blank page back

After some paperwork and money exchanges, ARIN assigns you an AS number. At that point,

How can I paginate a set of fields in descending order based on their created_on date? For example, in a blog app, you want the very first entry on the first page to be the most recent. I see that paginate has an :order parameter, but I don''t see any way of changing the direction of the order. Thanks, Jeff Coleman -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

The following is a recurring problem with a specific user - as far as we can tell, other users are working just fine (there are thousands); but I bet there are others.
